Shear strength and shear strain are the basic properties in mechanics of concrete. They also serve as important data for finite element and failure criterion research on concrete.

This paper has arrived at the compressive strength, shear strength, modulus of elasticity, poisson's ratio, moisture content, water absorption and softening factor of lime-sand brick masonry.

I have a chance to use the equipment of triaxial test which import from England and to carry on research shear strength of asphalt mixture.
